The Roman authorities allowed them to settle in the Balkans, but poor treatment, including extortion and starvation, led to unrest. Tensions erupted into open conflict, resulting in the Battle of Adrianople in 378 C.E., where the Visigoths defeated the Roman army and killed Emperor Valens. This marked a turning point, as Rome increasingly relied on treaties with barbarian groups, allowing them to settle within its borders in exchange for military service. Over time, such settlements eroded Roman authority and helped reshape the political map of Europe. Learning Extension: Have students select a group to geographically trace over time, such as the Franks or Burgundians. Based on their final location following the migrations, what is the group's legacy in that region today?
